Betty's Country Store is like stepping back in time! This is a grocery store that is untouched by corporate America. Shopping at Betty's is like being transported back to the 1950's and 60's.
Entering the store from the street brings wonderful reminders of days gone by. A courtyard filled with comfortable benches and rocking chairs sprawls beneath shade trees enticing one to sit and dine, read, chat or just enjoy the soft breezes. A checkerboard, ready for play, sits atop a barrel on the sidewalk leading to the front door which is flanked on one side by a vintage Coca Cola machine. Up the concrete stairs and through a large green wooden door, visitors are welcomed by a metal pushcart stocked with bottled cokes and a variety of Stewart's flavored sodas on ice.
The displays of standard grocery items and delicacies sit side by side, some in modern commercial cases and others in authentic oak refrigerators. Barrels of help-yourself snacks like yogurt covered pretzels, fresh nuts, trail mix and dried fruits lead you down an aisle to the deli section. Here shoppers find not only a treat for the nostrils, as the essence of fresh brewed coffee wafts through the air, but also a smorgasbord for the eyes as one surveys cases of fresh cheeses, baked goods and assorted meat delicacies, a display which would rival any New York deli.
According to Darlene Broadway, Betty's daughter, owner and manager of the store, Betty's is known for its mid-western corn-fed Black Angus beef. "We have a reputation for our inch to inch and a half steaks and fresh pork chops," she says.
